Description

Scenes of Mrs Brookes and her two grandsons in a park playground. The boys' father is seen climbing up the slide with his eldest son, who starts crying when he gets to the top. They are also seen having a ride on the roundabout. The film also features footage of 'Uncle Peter' providing family entertainment in the form of an open air children's show at Blackpool. Includes scenes of the boys and girls on stage, playing a game of musical chairs - a stick of rock is given to each of the losers and the winner received a football. Concludes with brief scenes of a couple of men and women from the audience, up on stage, singing into the microphone.
